I came across a fantastic new food blog called Simply Recipes and one of the featured recipes recently was this stuffed zucchini. Seeing as how I had 4 large zucchini in the fridge that I found for $0.10 each at Ciolino’s I knew I needed some unique ways to use them…you know methods other than […]
Random Tips Everyone Should Know
I have decided to begin compiling a list of tips that I use regularly in my kitchen but forget to mention in specific recipes. If you have tips of your own feel free to comment. And know that this list will most likely continue to expand. Brown sugar, unless other specified, should always be packed […]
Black Bean Mexican Pie
I came across this recipe at Annie’s Eats–one of my favorite foodie blogs. Her recipes are simple enough for an amateur like me to try but at a nearly professional level. I hope you enjoy this recipe from her blog. Go check it out! and fee free to make any alterations (like I did) to […]
Twice Baked Stuffed Potatoes
I have to be honest with you. I posted the pictures here probably a month ago when we actually had this meal for dinner. However. I have completely neglected to publish it along with the directions. Which is no big deal except I can’t remember exactly how I went about these glorious potatoes. I’m going […]
Molasses Sugar Cookies
Kevin recently declared that his favorite cookie is a molasses cookie. I myself have always loved spiced cookies such as gingersnaps and molasses sugar cookies–though most of my peers shy away from this genre of treat. (That is, they are our grandparents’ favorites!) Immediately I was on the hunt for a great recipe–one that combined […]
Chocolate Cookies
These cookies are definitely a way to satisfy a chocolate craving. They come out nice and chewy and of course chocolately! I have no idea where this recipe came from and while I plan on trying it again sometime, I found it rather difficult to roll the dough into the logs needed to chill and […]
Barbeque Pot Roast & Zesty BBQ Sauce
We have had a pork roast in the freezer for…well…way too long now so I took it out to defrost in the fridge and hopefully forcing myself to use it. I asked Kevin for his opinions/cravings on how I should prepare and he said “barbeque.” Now, I’ve never heard of a barbeque pork roast, but […]
Better than Your Average Oatmeal
Personally, I hated oatmeal for my entire childhood. My sister loved the instant stuff –especially strawberries and cream–but I just couldn’t stomach the texture. In college I gave oatmeal another shot to impress me and I began to enjoy the Dining Common’s extra thick oatmeal with loads of brown sugar. I was soon hooked on […]
Butterscotch Brownies
I don’t think I’ve ever had anything like this brownie, but I’m so glad I tried this recipe on a whim. It was listed in my Betty Crocker Cookbook as “lowfat” (what!? A lowfat brownie!) and as it turns out is really fast and really easy to throw together. Oh, and did I mention delicious. […]
Lemon Squares
Kevin has been craving Lemon Bars for quite some time and I have been wanting to try out a recipe. I had never made them before so I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect, but I knew these bars were one of the best desserts. I’m sorry for neglecting you, Lemon Bars. This particular recipe […]
